Samba Bamba

Samba Bamba is a percussion based workshop whose aim is to introduce and raise awareness of World Music and improve the student in all of the areas outlined below.

We do this by using the voice, along with walking and clapping exercises before introducing Samba percussion instruments culminating in a class rendition of a simplified version of Samba Batucada one style of Samba. We supply all instruments.

I have received both a positive and encouraging response from pupils and staff of the participating schools resulting in a successful and enjoyable day of music, fun and inspiration for everyone concerned.

Aims and Objectives

Each child gets to play an instrument regardless of ability.

Adapted to suit each of the key stage learning requirements.

Introduce and develop an understanding of pulse, co-ordination, speed and accuracy of response.

Options and Prices

We can provide a morning, afternoon or full day event. Each class would last approximately 50 min, therefore a full day of teaching would involve 7 classes. With an average class size of 30 pupils this would enable at least 210 pupils to have participated.
